Everybody needs a big, fat, juicy Italian Salad recipe in their lives, and this is my favourite. It has croutons, a dusting of parmesan and a homemade Italian dressing I adore. This goes well with all things Italian but especially with cosy foods like pasta, parmigiana, lasagna. Or, have it as a wholesome but satisfying meal. Move over Caesar salad!
This is such a wonderful recipe to use economical pork shoulder in an exciting new way! A Vietnamese lemongrass marinade infuses with beautiful flavour while a smidge of baking soda is the secret to tenderising so the pork steaks are tender like premium chops. Vietnamese street-food!
This is a Roasted Tomato Soup that tastes terrific even if your tomatoes aren’t at the height of ripe, seasonal perfection. So imagine how spectacular it is when they are! It’s incredibly simple to make: roast > blitz > warm > eat. I love the hint of smoky flavour in this from smoked paprika. Bonus: Super healthy, at just 240 calories a serving.
Nutella Stuffed Cookies. Yes, they are as naughty and indulgent as they look. But so much easier to make than you think! No electric beater, just a wooden spoon. That moment when the melty Nutella floods in your mouth…. send help!
Pavlova Bombs are mini pavlovas balls filled with lemon curd, raspberry coulis and whipped cream. They look so innocent when placed before you – then they explode with colourful fillings when you smash into them! Shockingly easy – just poke a hole in the base, and fill. 🙂
Lime Chicken infused with garlicky, savoury lime flavours! The trick to getting depth of flavour in a simple lime marinade is to use soy sauce for saltiness, plus a touch of sugar for great caramelisation. Fabulous for a quick midweek meal and ESPECIALLY great for the BBQ! Bonus: super healthy at less than 300 calories for a whole chicken breast.
